Hi All
if any of you are wondering why kpsion and plpftp wont work under 10.3 its because ncpd needs to be run as root now the easiest way to do this is
1)Press Alt+F2
2)Type kdesu kpsion
3)then Follow setup and your new psion will be detected
4)open either kpsion of plpftp as you
5)Do All Your Psion Stuff
so doing that will get your psion working just fine but remember it has to be repeated every time you reboot

for thoise who love the style of mac but cannot afford one there is a way to make ubuntu 9.04 mac!!!
just follow the guide @ http://maketecheasier.com/turn-your-...ard/2008/07/23
but some bits will not work to do the fonts just extract the archive into ~/.fonts (create if doesnt exist) and reboot to install globalmenu: Edit the sources.list:

$ sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list

Add the globalmenu repo lines:

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/globalmenu-team/ppa/ubuntu...
